Chess with Lasers

Chess with Lasers is a strategy board game in which you move and rotate pieces to destroy your opponent with a laser. Each turn, you make one move and then fire your laser, taking care not to hit your own pieces. To win, destroy the enemy king.

Pieces and strategy

Most pieces can move one cell in any direction and rotate 90 degrees as part of a move. Different pieces have their own advantages, abilities and weaknesses: Disruptors can disable and weaken nearby pieces, Splicers split your laser into two, and Portals can help you surprise your opponent from behind. Enemy mirrors, Disruptors and Portals can also work to your advantage. Green pieces can be controlled by both players.

Game modes

Play against the AI in single-player, or challenge a friend in local multiplayer on the same PC or in online multiplayer. You can also play every game in Competitive/Timed Mode. Tutorial mode teaches the rules and useful tactics, while Replay mode lets you review and analyze the moves and laser shots from a completed game.

Scenarios and levels

The game includes scenarios and maps for different skill levels, from simpler options for beginners to challenges that require more strategic skill. Some scenarios feature unique pieces available only in those scenarios. The in-game Level Editor lets you create levels to play against the AI or in local and online multiplayer; online opponents do not need to download your level.
